Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 16 - Saints v Port Sun June 30th 1:10pm AEST (Marvel)

[Freomaniac]

We have already started, How many new players have Saints blooded this year? Wilson, Schoenmaker, Hastie, Garcia and Collard. How many last year and the year before? Philipou, Owens, Windhager, Nasiah, Caminiti. Add King and Henry to that list for players under 24 years old. Starting another rebuild would do nothing and as a North supporter I would have assumed you would know that it takes time for young kids to develop and flourish. Poor comment.

I am not trying to sink the boots in. How many games the saints have lost narrowly?

2 games vs Port . The hawks in Tassie and Freo in marvel off the top of my head.

Saints have 5 wins and 10 losses. Could of been 9 wins and 6 losses with a spot in the finals.

 

[Freomaniac]

Painful game to watch and to have 122 total points under a closed roof is embarrassing for the sport.

Wash your mouth mate. Your side won a grand final winning 8.14.62 to 2.2.14.

It’s just noobs like you who call for the extinction of clubs mate.

I don't actually want the Saints to fold...but it would probably put a lot of hopes out of their misery. Well I hope you find success eventually.

Don’t worry about us mate, we live for the misery !.

One day it will happen. One day.

Lost to Cats by 8, Bombers by 5, Giants by 1, Hawks by 5 and pushed Brisbane to the death.

Had a couple of close wins as well but we weren’t far off it this season.

After the Scarlett toe poke and the Milne bounce it just seems they really were cursed. I was cheering as much for them as most non Pies and Cats fans. But I'm sure the footy gods will smile on you one more time after 66.

Fair enough. Saints have been competitive most games. People have been sinking the boots on saints. But it's not like the saints are getting belted by 10-15 goals each week

TVs were black and white as well.

Ahh - now I understand.

I hadn't realised Hawthorn had flogged the Weagles by 10 goals on your home ground - no wonder you're wasting time on the Saints v Port thread.

Remind us again how many games the Eagles have won in the last three years.

No like I said I attended the game, hence my posting. It was shizen to watch despite being close, but yeah, far from the worst performance of the day.

True, we suck, that's obvious, but we still may get no 5 before you get 2.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Weak man that hasn't got the stones to coach at the top level since Phil Walsh died.

Kenny was coaching poorly before that happened.

That's also the traits of a young side that don't know how to win, on the flip side you have Collingwood who nearly always win those close ones.

True, but of our 5 wins, we were lucky to win 3 of them. Had to come from a mile down at half time against Richmond and lost the first 3 quarters against West Coast, and survived fight backs from Collingwood and Gold Coast.

The only convincing win we have had was against stone cold motherless last North Melbourne.

Are the Saints a young side though?

Sure they have rotated a few kids from the bench and into the starting 18.

But Guys like Higgins, Steele, Brad Hill, Dougal Howard, Mason Wood are all traded from Other clubs but in that 25-30 year old prime age range.

Even by a small glance I think saints are midtable when it comes to Age of the squad, Both in the best 23 and whole 45 man list overall
